Testing is expensive, but for treatment efficiency -- for the good of your dog and cost in the long run -- it's best to know exactly what you are treating.

That's what we've been saving up to have done. Our vet referred us to the ophthalmologist after for months we couldn't figure out what was causing it. Believe me, had I had the money in the first place to do the tick-borne disease tests I would have. I had to calla round to borrow money just to get the meds to even treat him in general. Luckily husby has a new job now and we can finally go back to the ophthalmologist (that we were supposed to see again like 4 weeks ago) next week. So now we have just barely enough to cover the appointment and tests. If he gets new meds though I don't know what we'll do. Hopefully those won't cost more than $100 if he needs any since that's barely what I make a week. Hopefully next week he won't want to run tests and we'll be good to go forever, but as it seems is always the broke girl's luck that probably won't be the case and we'll have to save up again to see the ophthalmologist a third time after this upcoming appointment. Always something it seems! I keep praying a job will come up for myself because my furbabies are my first priority and I want so badly to be able to just hand over my debit card and not worry about the cost of their care!
